Yes, provided the maimai is not occupied before 7.30am. The hunter who has tagged or pegged the maimai only has the ’first rights’ privilege of occupying it until 7.30am then it is open to any other licensed hunter for the remainder of the day.

If you ‘pegged out’ a spot in the previous gamebird season you can peg your spot any day, from when the licences become available in mid-March until before 10am, on pegging day (refer to the First Schedule section of the “Game Bird Hunting Guide” for when pegging day is). After 10am on pegging day, any licence holder can peg any spot not already pegged.
